The team rocked North Dakota. We finished the Qualification rounds ranked 7th out of 43, and captained the 5th Alliance. We made it though quarter finals, wining two hard-fought matches. We lost in the semi-finals to the #1 alliance, who went on to win the regional – but we made them work for it! In addition, we also won the Imagery Award. Another bonus from our performance in Grand Forks: we’ll be competing at the Minnesota State Championship in May – our first time! This year’s adventure has just begun.

Robots in the Rotunda – February 26, 2018
Some team members brought our new robot to the legislature on Monday to meet with Senator Melisa Franzen and other key policy makers for education and STEM. Our take-away – be persistent!
MURA City-wide Practice Field
Our team visited the MURA practice field this week. Our drivers were able to do time trials on a fairly realistic field, and we got to visit with our friends at the Firebears and Ultraviolet. Thank you to Herobotics and others for organizing this space!
Moving to Avalon!
Our old practice space at Great River recently went under construction, so we moved to a new space in Avalon so we could work in a less busy and more appropriate space. This move has been a simple and seamless transition, and we are excited to see how our team progresses in this space.
Minne Mini Reigonal
The Minne Mini Regional this weekend was really fun. At one point, we were rammed and a part of our robot was bent and broken, but we kept playing! We also made it all the way through finals and won first place with help our great alliance of 2169 King TeC and 2052 The Knightcrawlers!
